Services

Where agencies leak hours.
We build the fix.

Custom AI automation for UK and EU recruitment agencies. Deployed on your existing ATS - Bullhorn, Recruiterflow, Recruitee, Vincere, JobAdder, and custom setups.

  • Fragmented tools

    ATS, job boards, inbox. They don't talk. Candidates slip through every week.

    How we fix it
  • Invisible workflows

    Nobody can tell you where time goes. Nothing gets fixed until it gets measured.

    How we fix it
  • Manual triage

    Hundreds of CVs, briefs, inbound emails. Custom scoring collapses that to minutes.

    How we fix it
Process

Four weeks, four checkpoints.

No open-ended discovery. No surprise invoices. Every step has a fixed deliverable you can point at.

    Week 1

    30-minute call. We map your process, find the time leaks, send a written summary.

  2. 02

    Scope

    Week 1

    One-page doc. Fixed price, fixed timeline, fixed deliverable. You sign off before build starts.

    Build

    Weeks 2-3

    We build and test on your ATS. Weekly check-ins. Nothing surprises you.

  4. 04

    Deploy & maintain

    Week 4+

    Goes live. We run it from there - monitor, tune, fix. Full docs so any dev can take over if you want.

What agency owners say

After the build shipped.

  • Three vendors pitched us and vanished. Roberts sent a scope doc in 48 hours and shipped on day 28. Screening load on the desk is down 90%. We haven't looked back.

    Emma Hartwell, Director

    Northwind Talent · London

  • My recruiters trust the model because it explains itself. Candidate gets a 72 and there's three sentences showing why. Nobody argues with the score when the reasoning is right there.

    Kasper Jansen, Managing Director

    Meridian Search · Amsterdam

  • Fixed price, signed scope, live in a month. We'd spent double on enterprise tools that did half the job and took six months to configure. Cleanest vendor engagement we've had.
